I was doing the inside of a house just now, and really suffering with condensation on the small georgian windows. >:(
As I was doing the inside of the kitchen window (or moving the grease around actually!), the lady asked me to get rid of a spider web on the ceiling.
She gave me a piece of kitchen roll to do it.
As the windows were a nightmare I tried the kitchen roll...magic!
She let me take a few more sheets and the house was finished in no time, with no smears!
Didn't even need to spray them, just wiped with kitchen roll, and all was well with the world.
Now I know why the girl in the pub uses paper towels to do the porch.
Strange isn't it?
11 years and you find out something so simple... :)

You could also open window slightly to let some air in and use a scrim.you only get the condesation because of heat.

Yeah, but it doesn't get rid of it, and scrim or microfibre gets greasy quickly.
It was ok for the first window.

Cut down a squeegee then you`ll see how easy it really is,if you wipe windows with any cloth no matter how good the manufacturers tell you it is it will smear,if it dosen`t look smeared the suns in the wrong place.What do they say last time you came they looked lovely till the sun came out,i wouldn`t be so sure they were perfect. :'(

I blade the insides of georgian windows (4" blade) if they're full of condensation. Apart from a quick mop up you don't even really need to detail as the condensation is pure water and doesn't leave smears or streaks.

Scriming any windows apart from leads inside went out with the Arc,i`ll only go over them with micro or scrim if it`s really regular and there non smokers.

I only use the scrim to mop up the water off the bottom of the frame...on the glass itself...never ::)

I've used a squeegee on them for years, but it's much slower.
There wasn't any smears with the kitchen roll, as they were done in the sun.

;) Vinegar and brown paper, my nan would say! :o
But according to this link... you cant clean with "Any" cloth due to the surface of glass!

Yes, that's basically paper towels from toilets repackaged and sold at a higher price to valeters!
You're right though, good stuff.

It helps if you stop breathing while cleaning. They don't mist up so much. :)
